Landing in ALL New 7 Wonders of the World in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

—PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION FOR HOW & WHY!—
A few considerations:
1.Collisions are ON; there’s no challenge in deactivating it. Had to get an intensive training in some of them.
2.Very slow flying is physically possible with this kind of plane. It’s a Zlin Shock Ultra, a STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) plane that stalls with flap down at ONLY 35 Km/h. This means that if you have some HEAD WIND, the speed relative to the ground is even slower!
3.I added more head wind in some of the landings. I tell you in each one.
4.Microsoft/Xbox provided a copy of ‘Microsoft Flight Simulator’ to me for review.
6.Pc specs are I9 9900K 64 GB RAM RTX 2080. Settings High at 4K, recorded and uploaded this video at 4K.
7.Flight Controls are Yoko+, V3rnio+ and Ruddo+ from https://www.virtual-fly.com

This is HOW I did it and WHY I did every landing:
1.Chichén Itzá: tried to land over the main pyramid a few times and discovered I could not stop on top if I had not some more head wind. I modified to 15 Kt and made the landing at first try. For taking off, I set brakes, powered up, raised the tail and released brakes.
2.Colosseum: this great 2000 year old stadium is made by Photogrammetry on FS2020. I already landed there with only 5 Kt of headwind in Live Weather, there’s a previous video at 1080 here: https://youtu.be/gefFY02MD8s
That time I landed at first try without retrying. When I tried again to record it at 4K, had 2 Kt tailwind and I could not repeat the landing. Manually set the 5 Kt headwind and that made the difference, landed back some more times.
3. Macchu Picchu: also landed here previously, see it here: https://youtu.be/FNO7hofOWgk
But in that video I landed on top of an Azure’s IA made building, which is incorrect (like the wrong slope) and it also has a collision glitch. Without modifying default Live Weather wind, decided to land normally on the ground for this 4K recording, but it’s no so easy as it looks; the terrain is extremely sloped, the plane can’t be stopped on the ground (it ends running backwards and laterally crashing), so I had to choose a nearby zone which is not so sloped. Easy one in that place. Hope this zone will be more detailed in the future!
4. Cristo Redentor: this looks like a mix of hand crafted in the basement and photogrammetry for the statue. Every video I watched and while on the previous itme been there with san Extra 330 I though I could land in the basement with the proper plane. But not so easy as it looks. Here I did not touch the Live Weather wind, so I found I had to land not aligned to the basement. There’s a collision box not well defined there, wheels of the plane floats over the real ground. After a few attempts, I made it, eben leaving my tailwheel outside of the landing zone, which for sure would scratch the plane’s tail fabric. The takeoff was simply a dive for speed, even with crosswind.
5. Petra: the zone is missing the needed detail on the mesh. If the mesh would be correct, the landing in front of the temple would probably be impossible because of the high walls of the canyon. However, gave it a try in the simulator. No so easy as it looks because of the shape of the ground, the takeoff was very difficult and I calculated it by flying like a pendulum and saving as much energy as possible for each steep turn. Hope this area will be more detailed soon!
6. Taj Mahal: probably the easiest of all, I had already done it previously here: https://youtu.be/1_yZABiA6oA
Wind was default, only analysed its direction and normally landed and took off from the basement. There’s plenty of space, jut toke care with the surrounding towers.
7. Great Wall of China: this zone has a serious lack of detail and has been processed by Azure’s IA, placing houses instead of towers, leaving the wall flat in some areas and full of buildings in others. Made 2 landings of medium difficulty; one over what is supposed to be the wall but it’s flat, here the difficulty is to takeoff again between all the surrounding vegetation. The other landing was made to take more footage but in a different plane and chose a clear uphill zone near the “tower” (depicted as a house) in one of the wall’s corner. Again, I hope more detail of this zone soon!
8. Honorary – Ghiza: in the New 7 Wonder poll, this old wonder was left outside the main 7, but kept as honorary. As you see, I attempted to land on top of it several times, with several methods, but I only managed to make some touch and go. I even tried with 50 Km/h wind, just to discover that the wind behaves like in a mountain around Ghiza, and it creates a huge amount of vortex turbulence on the downwind face, from where I had to approach. No way to physically realistic make it, so I chose to land (almost a controlled crash) between the walls of the ruins at the foot of Ghiza. This zone is as awesome made of photogrammetry as Colosseum, and a place that absolutely all simmers must visit in FS2020!
Enjoy the video and thanks for watching and reading this!

  1. Que tal si intentas aterrizar en el tope de la piramide ascendiendo desde abajo siguiendo el angulo de la piramide calculando entrar en stall justo cuando pasas por encima del pico cuestion de que caiga encima sin mucha velocidad horizontal.
    Seria ultra dificil, pero con algo de suerte quizas quede atascado ahi arriba.
    La otra seria configurando una velocidad de viento constante que te permita planear con casi 0 de velocidad terrestre..

  2. Eres mi heroe, de mayor quiero ser como tu !!!!!

  3. I’d be interested in seeing this video redone when the RTX 3090 is released, on Ultra settings.

  4. First pilot to land ON the pyramid!

  5. You sure do an amazing job at landing and taking off! Are the aircraft you’re using that easy to land and take off in real life?

  6. Sadly they didnt do Borobudur Great temple well, i also managed to land there, and fly again with disappointment
